Anybody have any pictures they can share? Would be awesome to get examples of their colors.

Really thinking about getting one with my tax return.

Just bought a couple gallons of milk at $4/gallon here in Southern Nevada.

Its not the $7-$8 as estimated, but it still sucks.

What do you recommend to your trainees once LP or intermediate programming no longer continues to support increases in the press? When BW continues to increase as well as strength in the squat,...

Yes, a car is useful.
However try using a car on a hill; or try stopping it when someone or something pulls out in front of you. There's a video of a guy getting crushed by his own car because he...

Doing high bar squats aren't going to help as much with the weak muscle groups, or your overall squat and leg strength for that matter.
SS basically teaches the low bar, squats-to-parallel depth to...

Rip said you can always file the knurled down to what's suitable. Of course doing so on brand new bars doesn't sound ideal.

I've been hoping to find a decent bar like a TPB on craigslist or eBay....

I would advise buying some books on the Oly lifts. The previously mentioned book by Harvey Newton is good and affordable resource. I also suggest "Olympic Weightlfting" by Greg Everett.

Bought a 2-ounce block from REI for about $2.
I store it in an airtight container, has lasted about a year (I don't go overboard with chalk).

Most chalk is made of the same stuff (magnesium...

Average Broz gym is one of the best in town. The UNLV rec center is also well equipped for strength training.

From what I can recall, both have drop-in pricing.

It is more than the norm, but I try to get the most out of my 3 training days/week. Usually takes less than 90 min, minus warm up and mobility work.

Current lifts are:
Squats 5x225, 3x260
Deads...

Here's my modified TM,

Sun (volume)
Squat 5x5
Rows 5x5
Bench 5x5
Chins 3x5 (weighted)
Press 3x5

Tues (light - 80-90% of VD)

Contact the forum member, 'Dan Miller' about making you a set of steel (imperial weight) fractional plates. IIRC, he charges about $25 shipped, maybe more if you are APO/FPO.

Here's the link to...

I've seen it in the past. It was one of the better docs on nutrition in the US. If you have Netflix, I suggest you watch it.
However, I did feel that some of the arguments were biased or lacked...

+1 on the dead lift jack when the bar is on the floor. Great when changing bumper plates with the same plate diameter.
I've also unloaded one side and tilted the bar so the loaded side plates slide...

I've been looking at some USA made bars by 'Functional Equipment' in Costa Mesa. Yes, I know they are a X-fit company.
Anyway, they have a bare steel 165k PSI bar for under $200. They even have cool...

BW exercises are cool, but barbells make you stronger.

I learned how to do a plank push up, yet I was only able to do 155x5 on the bench (BW of 140lb). Now I'm at 210x5, but can no longer do plank...

Spud INC dip belt or the one from IronMind.

I love my Spud belt. I ditched the steel chain for some rock climbing "daisy chains" and it's much more lightweight and comfortable. It's even strong...

Not only do you want a shoe with a solid insole, but a solid outsole as well. Flat bottom shoes also work best since your feet will not 'roll' under pressure.

When lifting, your feet push against...

Easy to find chemicals like pool cleaner (diluted hydrochloric acid) and stuff like CLR works fine with minimal surface rust. You can also find chemicals from auto restoration companies that are much...

Have you tried any kettlebell routines?
I'm not talking about doing 10min of snatches or C&P's, but heavy singles or triples. Also doing front squats with two 32kg or larger 'bells require a good...
